Season 1 Episode 8 - Episode 8Full descriptionFor almost a century, Canada has been a nationwide training camp for allied armed forces from all over the world. Millions of tons of munitions including bombs, rockets, grenades and mortars were fired and tested in fields and lakes across the country. An estimated one in seven failed to explode as it was designed to do. Dormant, but not dead, these munitions are known as UXO’s (unexploded explosive ordnance). "Bomb Hunters" follows an all-Canadian cast of expert bomb clearance and disposal teams assigned the job of cleaning up the deadly mess.

SEASONS

Ray Tremblay and his Mine EOD team discover an arsenal of bombs in an 80-year-old shipwreck, the HMCS Thiepval. At a former bombing range in Melbourne, Ontario, Ray’s Geophycisist Mike Anderson butts heads with his veteran supervisor, and Mike is forced to choose between his dog and his job. And in McGivney, New Brunswick, Sean Dockrill’s rookies stumble on a load of one the cruelest and most dangerous weapons ever devised by man, white phosphorus.
